Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

We would ask anyone that was thinking of sending flowers for Glenys to instead make a small contribution to this cause. 

ADPKD - AUTOSOMAL DOMINANT POLYCYSTIC KIDNEY DISEASE is the world’s most common inherited kidney disease, in which fluid-filled cysts develop, multiply and grow in both kidneys. Other organs, such as the liver and brain, may be affected. Between 1 in 400 and 1 in 1000 people worldwide - about 12.5 million - have ADPKD. Over half of those affected will have kidney failure by the time they are 60 years old. Many will experience regular pain, disability and anxiety throughout life. If someone has ADPKD, there is a 1 in 2 (50 percent) likelihood that the disease will pass to each child born.

She struggled daily with the effects of this disease. We would like to see an end to people having to go through the various stages of renal failure, to ultimately then be tied to a dialysis machine for life 

There will also be pkd collections boxes at both the crematorium and wake. 

Thank you xx
